i know of the hyper tech and other programers on the market can useing one really give you better mpg? and whats it average?

 

Try Hemifever, custom tunes.. really nice

 

These trucks were not designed for MPGs. The most you'll get out of a programmer is 1, maybe 2, MPGs.

 

ya but should be doing better than it is

 

shoot only doing 9.25 mpg

 

Welcome to my world I envy the guys getting 11-12.

 

Try 8-10ish accompanied by a gas gauge that lies--"you're almost out of gas"... "oh no, just screwin with ya".... "OMG get some gas you're almost in the red"... "false alarm, you got half a tank"... I really need to replace my sending unit; using miles driven to determine tank fullness gets old.

 

I thought the gas gauge with a sense of humor was standard equipment?

 

Thats not to bad, mine says the tank is empty after about 40 miles out a full tank, and then the light comes on, have people tell me all the time that im low on gas.....its kinda fun to mess with them by saying well I hope it makes it to where were headed if not your pushing

 

LOL, it certainly was on my truck

I do the same sometimes... but the universe exacted its revenge a couple of months back: I reset my trip od before getting gas, then received an emergency phone call and had to leave abruptly... then forgot i reset my od... ran out of gas with the gauge near the quarter tank mark. At 2 am. On the highway. Slightly intoxicated. Bad combo.
